Image depicts a costume ball underway in a high-ceilinged banquet room. Masked figures and commedia dell'arte characters converse in groups. A female figure stands in the center of the image, her arms at her side; a masked man approaches her, one leg lifted forward, slightly bent, as though dancing toward her. Servers carry trays of food. Musicians play from an elevated box. Figures engaged in sport are visible through the large, open windows.
